It is frequent for us to issue a qty of materials on a shop order that is over or under the qty planned on the product structure, since the final amount of material used is not known until the completion of an operation midway through the order. If the amount issued is under the Required Qty, then the Remaining Qty to Issue on the material line still appears as Demand Quantity on MRP Part Information, until the rest of the shop order is closed - this throws off MRP calculations as the system still thinks that amount will be consumed on that shop order, even though the final qty has already been issued for that material line.
The only known way for us to remediate this is to manually change the Required Qty of the material line to match the actual issued qty. Has anyone else dealt with this issue before, have an automated solution or just something we are missing?
We are targeting only material lines with Manual reserve method.
